NAME
       docker-pause - Pause all processes within a container


SYNOPSIS
       docker pause CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]


DESCRIPTION
       The docker pause command uses the cgroups freezer to suspend all processes in a container.
       Traditionally when suspending a process the SIGSTOP signal is used, which is observable by
       the  process  being suspended. With the cgroups freezer the process is unaware, and unable
       to capture, that it is being suspended, and subsequently resumed.

       See   the   ⟨https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt⟩   for
       further details.


OPTIONS
       There are no available options.
